Decrease Font SizeEditor's Review:
This would be great for the background at your next party; a hodge-podge of different rockabilly, this one will have something to please everyone. From the Reverend's pyschobilly to Wayne "The Train" Hancock's more traditional country sound to the Nekromantix's brand of spook-a-billy. If you use pomade, this is worth at least burning a copy of. And if you don't use it, you should get a copy, just in case that hot little greaser girl you have eyed in the bar gets drunk enough to come home with you. Just remember pomade is oil-based and therefore not a good lube substitute - it will fuck up your condom.- Dirty Jim

Wayne Hancock
Bio[+]Austin-born Wayne “The Train” Hancock plays country music the way it was played before country was played-out. His self-described style, “Juke Joint Swing,” has been applauded by artists such as Hank Williams III. His first album, Thunderstorms and Neon Signs, which was released in 1995 on DejaDisc displayed his love of old school, hillbilly honky tonk country. 1997’s Texas swing-fueled That's What Daddy Wants (released on Ark 21 records) was also taken aboard and constantly played on the Space Shuttle Columbia. His 1999 album, Wild, Free & Restless, had Wayne experimenting with big band sounds, and his latest, A-Town Blues (on Bloodshot Records) may be his finest work yet. The constantly touring Train is the hardest working man in country music.

the Reverend Horton Heat
Bio[+]Formed in the dying breath of the 1980s, Reverend Horton Heat has been converting audiences far and wide to the hedonistic sermons of the unholy trinity: Sex, Drugs and Rock ‘n’ Roll. Their brand of music is purely Texan; an mixture of rockabilly, swing, punk, surf and metal, with lyrics that typically consist of girls, cars, drugs and booze. The group has released eight albums to date, their first Smoke ‘Em If You Got ‘Em (1990) on Sub Pop Records. They eventually moved to Interscope Records for 1994’s Liquor In The Front, and then later to Artemis Records for their latest album Lucky 7 (2002). The band consists of Jim Heath on guitar and vocals, Scott Churilla on drums and Jimbo Wallace on stand-up bass.
